<p>The Moccasin Bluff Site  is an archaeological site located along Red Bud Trail and the St. Joseph River north of Buchanan, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The terrace between Moccasin Bluff and the St. Joseph River was home to temporary camps as early as 6300 B.C. Around A.D 500, inhabitants here traded with other groups of Native Americans from Illinois and Indiana. By A.D. 1100-1400, more permanent villages were established here, and the residents farmed the local lands.</p><br>
<p>By the late 1820s, European settlers moved into the area to log and farm the land. The US government then adopted a policy of moving the local Potawatomi out of the area and further west. This bluff is said to be named for Cogomoccasin, leader of one of the nearby displaced Potawatomi villages.</p><br>
<p>In 1948, the site was excavated by a University of Michigan team, which found pottery, skeletal remains and remnants of corn and storage pits. In 2002, Michigan State University excavated a wetland area at a lower elevation that had not been previously examined.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Moccasin Bluff Site is located on a terrace along Red Bud Trail. The terrace overlooks a wide bend in the St. Joseph River containing a pair of islands. The site is protected by a half-circle of hills to the north, west and south.</p><br>
<p>The site contained large numbers of pits of four different types: storage pits, fire pits (possibly used for baking), hearths, and smudge pits (found to contain Eastern complex corn).</p><br>
<p>The West Mitchell Street Bridge is a bridge carrying West Mitchell Street and US Highway 31  over the Bear River in Petoskey, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Michigan State Highway Department constructed this bridge in 1930 under the supervision of State Highway Commissioner Grover C. Dillman. The MSHD contracted with Whitney Brothers to build the bridge.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The West Mitchell Street Bridge is a seven-span highway T-beam bridge constructed of reinforced concrete, with broad ogee arches supporting each span. It is 330 ft long and 60 ft wide. The deck is asphalt, lined by sidewalks and side balustrades. The bridge is extensively detailed, with Moderne features.</p><br>
<p>The Shafer&#39;s Grocery and Residence is a commercial and residential building located at 1018 Emmet Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Shafer&#39;s Grocery and Residence consists of two attached structures: the store and associated residence. The store is a single-story frame commercial structure with a central entrance between large glass windows. The store has a flat roof with a simple bracketed cornice. The walls of the structure are clad with asbestos shingles. The attached residence is a two-story gabled structure with a front porch running the full width of the house.</p><br>
<p>The structure was built for the grocery business of Robert Shafer, who operated here in the late 19th century. By the 1930s, a used furniture business operated by Jennie Cross was located here.</p><br>
<p>The Captain Benjamin Allyn II House, also known locally as the Thomas Allyn House, is a historic house at 119 Deerfield Road in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in the mid-18th century or possibly earlier, it is a well-preserved example of a colonial-era brick house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Allyn House stands on the west side of Deerfield Road, historically the main road along the west bank of the Connecticut River, in southern Windsor. It is 2-1/2 stories in height, with a side gable roof. Its walls are built out of brick laid in common bond, with differing shapes indicating different periods of construction. Ground-floor openings in the five-bay facade have segmented-arch headers, with the entrance at the center, while second-floor windows are in rectangular openings butting against the eave. The interior has a center-hall plan, with parlors on either side and a kitchen and small extra chamber in the rear. Period woodwork is found in each of these rooms, and floors are wide pine.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s construction date is traditionally given as 1670, based on a partial carving (of which only the "1" and "0" survive legibly) on its main beams. It is possible that the house was built at this early date, but a date of 1760 is also plausible. Documentary records for the property are unclear whether this house or another was standing at the earlier date. The house was originally built as a saltbox, and was only raised to have a full second floor at a later date, evidenced by changes in the brick used. Even with a 1760 construction date, this house stylistically prefigures the later Federal period brick houses that are more numerous in Windsor.</p><br>
<p>The Giles Barber House is a historic house at 411-413 Windsor Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1825, it is a well-preserved local example of a transitional Federal-Greek Revival brick house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Giles Barber House stands in southern Windsor, on the west side of Windsor Street (Connecticut Route 159), a major north-south roadway, between Barber and Allen Streets. It is a masonry structure, with a 2-1/2 story main block that is covered by front-facing gabled roof. Behind this is a two-story ell, from which a single-story ell extends to the left (south) from its rear. The main facade is three bays wide, with the entrance in the leftmost bay. Windows are set in rectangular openings with brownstone lintels and sills. The gable above is fully pedimented, with a Federal style semi-oval window at its center.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1825 by Giles Barber, using bricks made from brickyards the operated on the other side of Windsor Avenue. The L-shaped plan is typical of the early Greek Revival, but its simpler styling and pediment window are more typical of the Federal period. This house is one of a number of early 19th-century brick houses to survive in southern Windsor.</p><br>
<p>The Petoskey Grocery Company Building, also known as the George T. Zipp Lumber Company Building, is a commercial building located at 616 Petoskey Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Zipp Lumber Company Building is a three-story brick Queen Anne commercial structure built on a trapezoidal plan, with pedimented dormers and a hipped roof. The trapezoidal plan accommodates the irregular lot adjacent to the railroad tracks. The walls are paneled to simulate pilasters. Windows are one-over-one wood framed units.</p><br>
<p>The building was first occupied by the Petoskey Grocery Company, which was incorporated in 1900. In 1917, the George T. Zipp Lumber Company moved into the building. Zipp Lumber occupied the building for many years. After they vacated the building, it was refurbished into the Emmet County Professional Office Building.</p><br>
<p>The Petoskey Public Works Utility Building, is a utility building located at 106 West Lake Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>

The entry bay protrudes forward. The exterior walls are grooved, referencing the fluting seen in classical piers.</p><br>
<p>The Petoskey Public Works Utility Building was constructed in 1937, replacing another facility that had stood on the site for many years. The building is part of a long-time commitment by the city to generate electrical power for the community.</p><br>
<p>Mineral Well Park is a park located on the east side of the Bear River at West Lake Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1888, mineral waters were discovered in Petoskey. Two years later, Frank S. Kedzie of Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University) declared that Petoskey&#39;s waters were the best in the state for bathing and drinking. Capitalizing on the appeal of the waters, a bathhouse and pavilion were constructed on this site, under a lease from the city of Petoskey. There is no visible trace of these 19th century structures at the site, but foundations may remain underground.</p><br>
<p>The lease ended in 1908, and in 1914-16 the city redeveloped the park with a series of improvements, many donated by the Federation of Women&#39;s Clubs of Petoskey and other private individuals. These improvements included a fish pond, concrete paths, and benches. Also included was the 1915 park pavilion designed by local architect C. H. Hansen. The fish pond has been filled in, but the majority of the other improvements made in 1914-16 remain in the park.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Mineral Well Park is a two-acre section located on the east side of the Bear River, and running from the West Mitchell Street Bridge north to West Lake Street. The park is a level section of grassland with a few large trees and shrubs. It contains cement pathways leading to the park pavilion. Grouped around the pavilion are the low, capped, cylindrical, fieldstone wells from which the park takes its name, and a retaining wall surrounding the former fish pond, which contains a bronze fountain in its center. The fish pond has been filled in and now contains plantings.</p><br>
<p>The pavilion, designed by C. H. Hansen, is a single-story, open air, cross-gable-roof structure. Concrete urn balustrades encircle the pavilion, and link podia topped with short Tuscan columns. The columns support the entablature and roof.</p><br>
<p>The Carville Historic District in Carville, Louisiana, is a 60 acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>It is known as the Gillis W. Long Hansen&#39;s Disease Center and as Public Health Service Hospital No. 66 and served as a treatment facility for leprosy. In 1992 the district included 24 contributing buildings and two contributing structures, most built during 1939-1941 with architect/builder Neill P. Thompson.</p><br>
<p>The "anchor" for the Carville Historic District is the Indian Camp Plantation House, the antebellum main house of a sugar plantation which is the only surviving building from the plantation. It wasdesigned and built by New Orleans architect Henry Howard (and perhaps his partner Albert Diettel) in 1859 for sugar planter Robert C. Camp. It is a raised stucco over brick transitional Greek Revival Italianate mansion featuring a central mass with a hexastyle double gallery and flanking two story wings. Fluted Corinthian columns over heavily rusticated pillars support the gallery. Column capitals are correctly fashioned from double rows of acanthus leaf carvings with volutess or scrolls springing</p><br>
<p>from the centers. Rather thin, molded and decorated abacus blocks supply the transition from columns to architrave. / The facade is well detailed with Italianate features, including rows of brackets, segmental openings, and panels. Above the gallery is a busy entablature with a bracketed, dentiled frieze under a projecting cornice and a segmented, paneled parapet. The bracket and dentil motif of the principal frieze continues around the returning entablature to terminate at the juncture of the house and gallery, only to reappear in a modified form of elongated brackets spaced across the wings, down the sides, and onto the rear. Meanwhile, the square, post and lintel fenestration of the central block contrasts with segmental openings in the wings. These features, together with the deep rustication of the central pillars and the heavy cast-iron gallery railings, impart a heavy sculptural quality to the facade. From every angle, front and rear, a certain dynamism emerges from broken up surfaces and contrasting motifs.</p><br>
<p>The Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad Harbor Springs Depot is a depot located at 111 West Bay Street in Harbor Springs, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad built a line to service Petoskey in 1874. The greater access to the area led to an influx of new residents, and the village of Harbor Springs was incorporated in 1880. The railway constructed a branch line to Harbor Springs in 1882. This depot, designed by Grand Rapids architect Sidney J. Osgood, was constructed in 1889 to serve the railway. The depot was in use as a passenger station until 1962.</p><br>
<p>After the depot went out of service, the depot was purchased by the next door Walstrom Marine Company, and was leased seasonally by different retail businesses. In 1995, it was sold to a local builder, and in 2000 was sold again with the intention of rehabilitating the building. As of 2016, the building houses the Depot Club and Restaurant.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad Harbor Springs Depot is a single-story, ell-shaped Stick style/Eastlake building with a hipped roof. It consists of two parts: a long passenger wing with wide projecting eaves and a shorter baggage portion, with narrower overhangs, situated at right angles to the main section. The dominant architectural features of the building are the oversized, curving brackets supporting the wide eaves on the passenger wing.</p><br>
<p>The building is clad with beveled clapboard, and contains double-hung windows and paneled doors. A large bay window, originally the ticket office, fronts onto Bay Street. Doors in the passenger section have a glassed transom; doors in the baggage section contain small square lights within the door itself. Two gables in the roof provide light to the attic. The original wood-shingled roof has been replaced with asphalt shingles&#39; likely in the late 1940s.</p><br>
<p>On the interior of the depot, the original passenger area has walls and ceiling finished in tongue-and-groove boarding, placed vertically below the level of the windowsills and horizontally above. It has the original maple flooring. The original baggage portion of the depot has more utilitarian walls and open-truss roof framing, and most of the floor is elevated to the height of a wagon to facilitate loading of baggage. Between the passenger area and the baggage room is the original ticket office containing the large bay window.</p><br>
<p>The Monument of States was conceived as a symbol of American unity after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and is located at 300 E. Monument Avenue in Kissimmee, Florida. It was built by volunteers, with donations of stone that came from around the world, including a rock from President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was the brainchild of Charles W. Bressler-Pettis, who also hoped it would become a unique tourist attraction for the city.</p><br>
<h2>Conception and design</h2><br>
<p>When the United States came under attack from the Empire of Japan on December 7, 1941, Charles W. Bressler-Pettis was a retired physician living in Florida, and was president of the Kissimmee All-States Tourist club that catered to senior citizens. He had served in both the Royal Army Medical Corps and the United States Army during World War I. Pettis devised an idea to erect a unique monument in Kissimmee that he hoped would inspire American solidarity in response to the attack. As a promoter of local tourism, Pettis was also looking to draw visitors to Kissimmee with a unique attraction. He enlisted his friend J. C. Fisher to work with him on designing a monument that would contain a rock from each state. The result of Pettis&#39;s collaboration with Fisher was a step-pyramid weighing an estimated 100,000 pounds and reinforced with 3 ½ tons of steel rails. At the top sits an American eagle and a flag of the United States, resting on a blue concrete orb.</p><br>
<p>Speculation has been offered by the National Park Service and others that it is possible Pettis might have been influenced by the Fireplace of States in Bemidji, Minnesota. Built by the Works Progress Administration in 1934–35, the Bemidji fireplace was constructed with stones from each of the then 48 states (Alaska and Hawaii were considered territories at the time of the monument&#39;s construction and world not become states until 1959 and 1960 respectively).</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The Florida monument was built entirely through volunteer labor, mostly the senior citizens of the travel club. Governors of each state received letters from Pettis asking for rock donations to build the monument. Local government and civic organizations, as well as area businesses and individual residents, donated time and materials, including 507 donations of one bag of cement each. Those in Kissimmee who contributed in any manner have their names inscribed on the adjacent sidewalk. Pettis had amassed a collection of thousands of rocks in his travels and donated many of them to the project. President Franklin D. Roosevelt donated a rock from his estate in New York. By the time of its 1943 completion and dedication by Florida&#39;s United States Senator Claude Pepper, it was composed of 1,500 stones and objects donated</p><br>
<p>When Pettis died in 1954, Kissimmee changed its regulations on burials to permit a portion of his remains to be sealed inside the work. A plaque honoring Pettis was placed on the monument.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration and NRHP</h2><br>
<p>As tourism was drawn away by the 1971 opening of Walt Disney World in Orlando, the Kissimmee monument fell into neglect and disrepair.</p><br>
<p>On March 28, 1993, the city of Kissimmee had a re-dedication of the monument and sealed a time capsule within it. The American Automobile Association stepped in to help restore it in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The monument was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 8, 2015.</p><br>

<p>Drishane Castle is a MacCarthy tower house and National Monument located in County Cork, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Drishane Castle is located 2.2 km northeast of Millstreet, on the south bank of the Munster Blackwater.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The tower house at Drishane was built by the MacCarthy (Mac Cárthaigh) clan c. 1436–50. It was probably begun by Dermot Mór, the second son of Tadhg (King of Desmond 1390–1428). Tadhg, son of Owen was in possession of Drishane Castle in 1592 when he surrendered it to Queen Elizabeth I and got a regrant. His son Owen (Eoin) still held the castle at his death in 1637.</p><br>
<p>All MacCarthy lands were forfeit after the Irish Confederate Wars (1641–53), but were restored to Donough MacCarty, 1st Earl of Clancarty in 1660 when Charles II regained the throne.</p><br>
<p>The MacCarthys again lost their lands after the Williamite War (1689–91). The land fell to the Hollow Sword Blade Company, who sold it to Henry Wallis in 1709; the Wallises took full ownership in 1728. During the Fenian Rising of 1867, Drishane Castle was garrisoned. It remained in Wallis hands until 1882, later being owned by Patrick Stack. It became a convent in 1909, owned by the Sisters of the Infant Jesus, who operated a boarding secondary school for girls until 1992. It was bought by the Duggan family and became a centre for asylum seekers.</p><br>
<h2>Castle</h2><br>
<p>The castle is a tower house 22 m tall. It is built of stone with four storeys and narrow arrowslits. There are "Irish" crenellations on the roof, and a small circular tower next to the castle.</p><br>
<p>The Bissell Tavern or Bissells Stage House is a historic travelers accommodation at 1022 Palisado Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Now a private residence, it was built in 1796, and served in the 19th century as a stagecoach stop along the main route between Springfield, Massachusetts and Hartford, Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Bissell Tavern is located in northern Windsor, on the east side of Palisado Avenue (Connecticut Route 159), south of its junction with Hayden Station Road. Palisado Avenue is the major non-highway north-south route along the west bank of the Connecticut River. The tavern house is a two story wood frame structure, with a hip roof, end chimneys, and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance topped by a four-light transom window. There is a 19th-century porch attached to the south side, and a single-story ell to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The tavern was built in 1796 by Ebenezer Fitch Bissell, Sr. The Bissells were one of the first families to settle Windsor, arriving in 1640. Bissell was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War who had been captured in the Battle of Long Island. The Palisado Green area, just south of the tavern, developed in the early 19th century as a trading nexus, and Bissell&#39;s son turned the house into a tavern, a role it apparently kept until about 1833. It has remained in the interrelated Bissell and Hayden families as a private residence since then.</p><br>

<p>The George Schantz Residence and Store is a well-preserved example in Petoskey of a residence and attached store, fitting into the local tradition of small commercial establichments located in residential neighborhoods. The building was owned in the 1920s and later by George Schantz.</p><br>
<p>The Phillip Rehkopf House is a private house located at 918 Howard Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Phillip Rehkopf House is a 2-1/2 story brick Queen Anne structure on a stone basement. It has an L-shaped plan, with the gabled short leg of the L extending toward the front. The gables are clad with wooden shingles. Gabled dormers pierce the roof, ans does a small tower with an onion-like dome at one end of the facade. A single story porch supported by Doric columns runs across the facade; the porch and the house itself have classical cornices.</p><br>
<p>It is likely that Phillip Rehkopf, a mason, built this house himself some time before the turn of the century. Phillip&#39;s wife Jane ran a rooming house here for many years.</p><br>
<p>The Sarah Pennington House is a private house located at 606 Grove Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Sarah Pennington House is a 1-1/2 story frame Queen Anne structure with a front roof gable. The gable end on the front facade has an elliptical arch seen in Colonial Revival and Shingle Style designs. Below the gable is asingle story polygonal bay window with a hipped roof. The entrance is located on the side of building, through a projecting entrance bey. The house has one-over-one wood-framed window units capped with cornices.</p><br>
<p>The Sarah Pennington House was constructed some time before 1902. When built, the house was a twin of the structure next door, which implies it may have been erected by a builder as a speculative investment. By 1917 it was owned by Sarah Pennington. Pennington was widowed and used the house to take on boarders.</p><br>
<p>The Walter Fountain was erected at the junction of Greyfriar Gate and Lister Gate, Nottingham in 1866.</p><br>
<p>The Walter Fountain was designed by Richard Charles Sutton and commissioned in memory of John Walter, MP for Nottingham, by Mr John Walter, at a cost of £1,000, with the Corporation of Nottingham providing the site, and laying in the supply of water. The foundation stone was laid on 24 October 1865 by the Mayor of Nottingham, William Page Esq. The fountain was opened on 3 July 1866 by the Mayor of Nottingham.</p><br>
<p>The fountain was described in the Illustrated London News of 25 August 1866 as a structure of gothic character, highly decorated and of octagonal form. It rises in four stages to a height of 40 ft, the diameter at the base being 12 ft. Four basins of polished Aberdeen granite occupy four sides of the lower stage, the other four compartments being filled in with suitable inscriptions. Immediately above the basins on two sides are placed medallion portraits of the late Mr. John Walter, in white marble, considerably recessed, under traceried canopies. The first stage is surrounded by a trefoil pierced parapet. The eight compartments are finished with gablets having carved finials at the apex. The flat surface is relieved with diapered work. At the eight angles are buttresses, relieved with various pinnacles. These are carried up throughout three stages, and add much to the effect of the general outline. The second stage consists of a series of pointed arches under gablets, filled in with tracery, the lower portion containing shields bearing the town arms. The shafts in this stage are proposed to be of red Mansfield stone, having carved caps. The third stage, of diminished diameter, rises from the second stage, being connected therewith by a vertical stepping. This stage has the buttresses again diminished, and finished with pinnacles having carved terminals. From this stage the lines are brought up to a point, the apex being surmounted with an ornamental cross. A flight of octagonal steps leads up to the fountain.</p><br>
<p>In September 1950, some masonry toppled into the roadway, and the Works and Ways Department of the Corporation barricaded the fountain off from the public. It was demolished a few days later.</p><br>
<p>The Benton Avenue Cemetery located in Helena, Montana was established by the Lewis and Clark County commissioners in 1870, and run by the county until management was turned over to the Benton Avenue Cemetery Association in 1922. The City Cemetery was older than Benton, but that property had to be cleared in 1875 for construction of Central School, those graves reinterred at Benton. In 1883, the route of Helena&#39;s first Memorial Day parade ended with a ceremony at Benton Avenue Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was re-dedicated in 1968 following an extensive clean-up and restoration. In 1974, the cemetery was added to Montanas historic sites by the Governors Commission on Historic Preservation, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. At the time of the NRHP listing, there were an estimated 896 burials in the cemetery&#39;s 10 acre. In keeping with historic preservation, the grounds are maintained in keeping with the original 19th century plant life that grew in the area. A wrought iron fence, with two unlocked pedestrian gates, and one locked automobile gate, surrounds the grounds. Within the cemetery, there are also fenced-off areas privately maintained by family members.</p><br>

<p>Prescott, Arizona, founded in 1864, soon had a children&#39;s library that was a collection of books gathered by several women. A Prescott Library Association opened a public reading room space in 1870. But there was no regularly funded library until the Carnegie library  at 125 E. Gurley Street was built in 1903. Its funding and construction was a project of the Monday Literary Society or Monday Club, a group formed in 1895 , a group of women dedicated to the educational and cultural well-being of their community. It has also been known as Prescott Public Library and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places under that name. The replacement library, the current Prescott Public Library, built in 1974, is two blocks away.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Monday Club requested matching funds from Andrew Carnegie to build the library. The goal was to create a ‘free public library’ for the Prescott community. In July 1889, Carnegie agreed to fund $4,000 with the understanding the other $4,000 would be raised by the Prescott community. situated near Marina and Gurley in Prescott, Arizona. It was the first public library in the area.</p><br>
<p>Julia M. Goldwater, Prescott resident wrote to Andrew Carnegie in 1899, appealing for help to build a library in Prescott:</p><br>
<p>June 1, 1899</p><br>
<p>Mr. Andrew Carnegie</p><br>
<p>Pittsburg, Pennsylvania</p><br>
<p>Dear Sir,</p><br>
<p>Your well known philanthropy has prompted me to appeal to you in the interest of a truly charitable work.</p><br>
<p>In our little town of 3500 inhabitants, we have after much effort and work established a library of nine hundred volumes—good readable books in good condition, but we have no endowment, rents are high, and we have been compelled to charge for the tickets.</p><br>
<p>It is our aim and hope to make the library free and to maintain a free reading room.</p><br>
<p>In no place could such a room be more needed than in Prescott with its large floating population of young men, many of whom can not afford to keep their own rooms lighted and heated, and therefore have no recourse but the saloons and “dives” for there are no innocent amusements in the town.</p><br>
<p>If we could get an endowment of $10,000 or even $8,000, we would at once, make the library free, for all the women on the library committee are willing to work very hard to keep the matter in good shape, to raise money to buy new books and to subscribe for periodicals.</p><br>
<p>I truly believe that the amount of money I mention would do greatest good in this way than in any other.</p><br>
<p>I have tried to write briefly so as not to demand too much of your valuable time, but if you are interested to investigate the matter, I shall taker pleasure in giving you all the information possible.</p><br>
<p>I am privileged to refer to the Governor of the Territory, Hon. N. Oakes Murphy, Phoenix, Arizona, who will tell you I am sure that the library is in capable hands.</p><br>
<p>Hoping that you will feel some interest in our necessities, in spite of the hourly calls on your charity, I am,</p><br>
<p>Very respectfully yours,</p><br>
<p>Julia M. Goldwater</p><br>
<p>Carnegie responded in 1899 with an offer of $4,000, conditional upon the people of Prescott matching that sum. The existing library collection was lost in a 1900 conflagration that burned much of downtown Prescott, but a $1800 insurance claim was paid for the loss, and other fundraising eventually raised enough to meet Carnegie&#39;s condition. Builders Maxwell & Sines constructed the library for $8,242. It was opened with 1300 volumes on November 24, 1903. Ownership was passed from the Monday Club to the city of Prescott in 1917.</p><br>
<p>The library served the Prescott community until 1974 when the current Prescott Public Library opened.</p><br>
<p>The 1873 Roma Street railway station building is a heritage-listed railway station building at Roma Street railway station, 159 Roma Street, Brisbane central business district, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley and built from 1873 to 1875 by John Petrie. It is also known as Brisbane Passenger Station, Brisbane Terminal Station, and Brisbane Terminus. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 24 March 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Roma Street railway station was constructed in 1873-1875 as the first Brisbane terminus for the Main Line railway and was the Brisbane terminus for the Southern and Western railway lines via Toowoomba. The building was designed by FDG Stanley, the Superintendent of Public Buildings in 1873 and built over the next two years by Brisbane builder, John Petrie.</p><br>
<p>The Queensland Parliament passed the Railway Act in 1863, enabling the first railways to be constructed. A railway survey had been undertaken by the New South Wales Government in 1856 prior to the separation of Queensland in 1859, but it was the Moreton Bay Tramway Company who, on constructing a wooden-railed horse hauled tramway between Ipswich and Toowoomba in 1861, pioneered rail transportation to Queensland. Queensland&#39;s sparse population discouraged rail transportation as non-viable.</p><br>
<p>The initial Main Line railway which ran between Ipswich and a small town near Ipswich, Bigge&#39;s Camp (or Grandchester as it is now known) was opened in 1865. This was the first stage of a four stage project to provide railway connections into the major towns on the Darling Downs. The second stage was to link Ipswich through to Toowoomba via the Main Line in 1867. The final two stages were the Western railway line linking Toowoomba to Dalby in 1868 and the Southern railway line linking Toowoomba to Warwick in 1871.</p><br>
<p>Terminating the railway at Ipswich meant that goods were then be transferred to ships at Ipswich to reach Brisbane or beyond. The Ipswich community was opposed to the extension of the railway to Brisbane, as goods would then be transferred to ships in Brisbane, diminishing Ipswichs role as a port. Despite Ipswichs opposition, the Queensland Government ordered a preliminary survey of a railway line between Ipswich and Brisbane which was completed in November 1865.</p><br>
<p>By 1872 a report of the Royal Commission on Railway Construction was presented to Parliament which made a case for the extension of the South-West Railway into Brisbane. The case for the railway line was adopted and plans were immediately made for a survey which estimated the cost of the rail link to be &pound;192,000, or &pound;8,000 per mile of line. Previously a decision was made to adopt a narrow gauge of 3&#39;6", rather than the wider gauge adopted in other states and this reflects the general attitude toward the construction of railway lines and stations in Queensland in these first years, that of providing adequate facilities economically. On 30 January 1873, the first sod was turned on the extension of the line to Brisbane by the Queensland Governor, George Phipps, 2nd Marquess of Normanby.</p><br>
<p>As part of the planning for the new line, a major station was planned at the Brisbane Terminal at Roma Street. This building was originally to be an imported iron station building from Britain designed by Sir C. Fox and Son. The downturn in the state&#39;s economy in the late 1860s, resulted in a smaller station which was built to a design of FDG Stanley in 1873-1875. The order for the iron building was cancelled, not, however, before certain elements were in transit from London; consequently a large iron carriage shed arrived and was dismantled for use on a number of projects.</p><br>
<p>In October 1873, a tender notice appeared in the Queensland Government Gazette for the construction of the railway station in Brisbane. FDG Stanley who was the Superintendent of Buildings within the Public Works Department at the time, was the designer of the building. The tender of John Petrie was accepted in on 1 December 1873. The building was then built over the next two years.</p><br>
<p>In the Brisbane Courier, "Summary for Europe", which appeared on 30 October 1873, detailed plans of the new Terminus Passenger Station were provided:The Station will be erected in the Green Hills, just outside the western fence of the Grammar School and facing Roma Street from which it will be distant 100 yards. The general style of the building will be that known as the Italian Gothic order of architecture. The material used...will be pressed brick with cut stone facings, this being chosen on account of its durability and as also affording the greatest consonant with economy. The station will consist of a main building, two storeys high, flanked at each end by a single storey wing...On the ground floor...will be the booking offices, station master&#39;s offices, waiting rooms and other offices connected with ordinary railway travel. The upper floor will be devoted to the offices of the traffic and engineering staff...The plans have been designed by Mr FDG Stanley, Superintendent of Public Buildings.The line was opened as far as Oxley Point railway station (now known as Chelmer railway station) by February 1875, but the bridge across the Brisbane River to Indooroopilly was not constructed until later, and the trains were shunted across the river on punts. Despite its incomplete state, the line from Ipswich to Brisbane was officially opened on 14 June 1875. At the opening, the platform at Brisbane Passenger Station was half-paved and the rooms and corridors incomplete, the roofing over the platform was still in progress and the place lit temporarily.</p><br>
<p>The station was designed to house staff and facilities associated with rail traffic, including the station master, booking office and waiting rooms. A large goods shed was erected at Roma Street in 1875-1876 and sidings were introduced to incorporate the new building. The cost of this work was &pound;7446. The next major addition to the station was a rail bridge over Countess Street also planned in 1876 when Parliament voted &pound;19,600 for construction of this and other improvements at the station. The bridge measured 66 feet and was an iron-plate girder span on brick abutments and was constructed to avoid disturbing road traffic. Other improvements at this time include construction of a number of cattle yards.</p><br>
<p>Roma Street railway station and the surrounding railyards has been dramatically altered over the years of its use. In 1911 the railyard was established at Roma Street and the entire site was replanned. The next major change occurred in the early 1940s when the Country Station was constructed between the original Terminal Station and Roma Street. The most recent, and most significant change to the railway station occurred in the 1980s when the transit centre, incorporating the Travelodge Hotel was constructed (now Centra).</p><br>
<p>A number of sources suggest that the original carriage shed was erected as a temporary measure. By 1882 a new carriage shed was erected and the terminal station platforms extended. Also during this year the Sandgate railway line was opened to Sandgate further increasing traffic through Roma Street station. In 1889, the Brisbane Central railway station was opened and the original Brisbane Terminal Station became known as the Roma Street railway station. Construction of buildings, including a gas works, stores buildings and engine sheds continued as rail traffic increased.</p><br>
<p>In 1911 a major re-organisation of the Roma Street railway station precinct was planned, involving the removal of locomotive and carriage facilities to the Mayne Rail Yards where a new marshalling yard was built. Roma Street continued to develop during the 1910s and 1920s as the major goods loading point. In 1914 an additional storey was added to the porte cochere of the station building increasing office accommodation on the first floor.</p><br>
<p>On 30 November 1940 the Country Station was opened at Roma Street. This low-lying face brick building sat directly between the 1873-1875 building and Roma Street. For the first time the early railway station was flanked by platforms and was no longer able to be accessed via Roma Street directly. The new passenger station was designed to relieve congestion at Brisbane Central Station and made Roma Street Station the chief station for long distance travel. Trains travelling, southward however, still left from South Brisbane railway station prior to the construction of the Merivale Bridge in 1978. The 1940 station was planned amid a large garden setting some of which survives to this day and continued a tradition of substantial and attractive gardens surrounding railway stations in Queensland. When constructed the roof of the 1873-1875 station was clad with slate tiles, during the general refurbishment of the station area following the construction of the 1940 passenger station the roof of the early station was re-clad with corrugated fibrous sheeting.</p><br>
<p>Platforms and awnings were constantly re-arranged at the Roma Street Station. In 1959 the early iron carriage shed was removed and was replaced with more modest awnings.</p><br>
<p>During the 1980s the isolation of the original station building was further increased with the construction of the monolithic Brisbane Transit Centre which incorporated new railway facilities along with a hotel, offices and function centre. This development saw the demolition of the 1940 railway station. During the mid 1990s a further re-arrangement and extension of the platforms to the north and south of the early station building occurred.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The 1873 Roma Street railway station is a substantial building constructed of rendered masonry situated between the new Roma Street railway station within the Travelodge (Centra) tower on Roma Street and the platform structures to the rear of this. The building retains some s platform awnings and is adjacent to early remnant garden areas.</p><br>
<p>The 1873-1875 station is a two storeyed building lined to the north and south by platforms. When built the platforms were at the rear, northern edge of the building only. Platforms were introduced to the southern side from the 1940 renovation. At the eastern end of the station building is a large iron roofed and steel framed semi-open space which replaced an earlier similar structure. Several small buildings survive to the west of the station building surrounded by remnant gardens.</p><br>
<p>The building when constructed was a loadbearing face brick structure with a central two storeyed section flanked by one storeyed wings. The corrugated fibrous cement roof of the station is hipped over the central part and separately hipped over the flanking bays which also feature dormer windows with brick surrounds to the south. The present roof replaced an earlier slate roof. The building has been painted externally.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed with classical elements including symmetrical massing, southern arcade and porte cochere; round and square arched head windows, castellated parapet detailing, classically inspired mouldings, string course mouldings lining the entire building and pilasters separating openings. A description of the newly completed building described the style as "Italian Gothic", probably reflecting the face brick and stone dressed mouldings of the exterior and the classical elements over the building. The building is a substantial example of a late Victorian Italianate influence.</p><br>
<p>The central part of the building is divided into three bays, a central bay projects from the southern face of the building and is lined on the ground floor of this face with a porte cochere. The porte cochere comprises rusticated corner columns and round intermediary columns supporting an arcade with castellated parapet. Since original construction a second storey has been added to the porte cochere. The southern face of the upper floor of this central bay is lined with five round arched window openings, with brick surrounds and moulded hoods. The central bay is flanked by side bays each with three round arched windows on the upper floor and a partially enclosed arcade on the ground floor. The windows along the southern side of the building are generally timber-framed double-hung sash windows and along the northern side are aluminium framed sliding windows.</p><br>
<p>The northern face of the building was originally conceived as an internal wall, inside the original carriage shed. The northern face features a number of irregularly spaced windows and doors along the ground floor, and regularly space squared arched windows on the floor above.</p><br>
<p>Internally, the building is arranged on the ground floor with a number of rooms openings from the original arcade along the southern side of the building and stair halls at the eastern and western ends of the building providing access to the upper floor. The upper floor is arranged around a substantial central hall articulated by moulded round archways, from which a number of large rooms open.</p><br>
<p>The ground floor has a concrete floor covering the central bay of the building and timber boarded floors to the eastern and western ends. The arcade on this floor provides access to a large central hall, divided into two by a rendered brick partition and by a curved walled room on the northern side and originally used as a ticket office. The hall was used for waiting rooms and the separation reflects the division between first and second class passengers. Other rooms on the ground are smaller offices, some with timber boarded ceilings. Within these offices are many items of significant furniture which contribute to an understanding of the railway history of the building; including joinery pieces, special cupboards and an early station names board. Large public toilet facilities are found at each end of the ground floor of the building.</p><br>
<p>The upper floor of the building was designed for use as staff offices and facilities. The two stairways providing access to the upper floor are found at the western and eastern ends of the floor. The eastern stair is a narrow dog-leg timber stairs on a steel frame which dates from about the mid-20th century. The western stair is an earlier timber dog leg stair. The central first floor hallway provides access to a number of large, well lit office spaces. Natural lighting from the windows lining the building is supplemented on both the northern and southern sides with a series of skylights, which though probably not original are certainly an early development of the building and reflect the use of the rooms as offices. The partitioning on the upper floor is constructed with lath and plaster walls and the ceilings are also lath and plaster. The upper floor has more decorative finishes than the lower floor with moulded archways along the hall, and cornices and skirting boards of various sizes in the halls and rooms. Early paint schemes are evident in many places of the upper floor.</p><br>

<p>The 1873-1875 Roma Street railway station is of social value as an important remnant of an inner city railway station in public use for over 120 years. Because the context of the building has been gradually changed and the building is no longer appreciated as a discrete structure, the surviving railway station contributes to an understanding of the development of the site.</p><br>
<p>The Hajhir massif is a mountain range situated on the island of Socotra, Yemen. It is the highest point of the island.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The granite spires of the Hajhir massif are located in the hinterland of Soqotra and are most easily accessed via the valley approaches north of the coastal town of Hadibo. The ultra-high point of the range is the high peak of Mashanig which lies at approximately 1500m above sea level.</p><br>
<p>Other peaks of local prominence include Girhimitin, Hazrat Muqadriyoun and Herem Hajhir.</p><br>
<h2>Nomenclature</h2><br>
<p>The name "Hajhir" (Soqotri: هجهر), sometimes transliterated as "Hagghier" or "Hagher" in English, likely derives from the Arabic "hijr" (Arabic: حجر) meaning "stone". Other possible origins of the range&#39;s name include the word "hajar" (Arabic: هجر) meaning "to flee".</p><br>
<p>The name "Mashanig" (Soqotri: مشنغ), meaning "the split one", likely derives from the Arabic verb "inshaq" (Arabic: انشق) meaning "to split", from which one gets the word "munshuq" (Arabic: منشق) meaning "splittist".</p><br>
<h2>Climbing History</h2><br>
<p>Bedouin goatherds have a long history of climbing in the Hajhir. A 2014 study of Soqotri oral storytelling traditions revealed that a number of popular myths recount ascents throughout the range by local goatherds. According to the anthropologist Christopher Elliott, many accounts demonstrate a strong oral chain of transmission that links mythical characters with actual pre-modern ascents.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Horace H. Ellsworth House is located north of the village center of Windsor, on the east side of Palisado Avenue (Connecticut Route 159), a short way north of its junction with Old Kennedy Road. Palisado Avenue is a historically old road, once serving as the principal route paralleling the west bank of the Connecticut River. The house is a two-story brick structure, covered by a flat roof with a projecting cornice. Its main block is three bays wide and two deep, with windows set in rectangular openings with stone lintels and sills. A single-story porch extends across the front, continuing on the left (north) end to a corner gazebo-like pavilion. The main entrance is on the left side. A two-story ell projects to the rear, continued with a single-story ell beyond.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1872 for Horace H. Ellsworth, and is distinctive locally for its Italianate style in brick, which contrasts with surrounding older buildings. Its first resident was Ellsworth&#39;s father, with Ellsworth and is family moving in after his father died. The house remained in the family until 1955. Horace Ellsworth was a local business owner, serving as director of a local cannery, and with interests in a commercial building and lumber business.</p><br>
<p>Glenquin Castle is a tower house and National Monument located in County Limerick, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Glenquin Castle is located 2.4 km west of Killeedy, on the north side of the R515 road.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The tower house was built in 1462 by the Ó hAilgheanáin (OHallinans), on the site of an older building dating back to AD 983. It was taken by the Uí Briain (OBriens), and during the Desmond Rebellions (1569) it fell to the Geraldines, until the Crown confiscated their lands in 1571. The castle was partly demolished by Walter Raleigh. By 1587 it was in the hands of the Hungerford; in 1591 it went to Sir William Courtenay, and in 1595 to a Captain Collum.</p><br>
<p>It was restored by William Courtenay, 10th Earl of Devon in 1840.</p><br>
<p>At the 1916 Easter Rising, 300 Irish Volunteers assembled at Glenquin Castle, but they did not take any military action.</p><br>
<p>It was restored again in the 1980s and is under the care of the Office of Public Works.</p><br>

<p>Three significant A-group culture cemeteries of the times of the First Dynasty of Egypt have been excavated. The most important one, cemetery L, revealed wealthy burials of rulers. In one of these graves was found an incense burner depicting images assigned to the Pharaoh like the White Crown of Upper Egypt.</p><br>
<h2>X-Group records</h2><br>
<p>A necropolis of the X-Group excavated by Walter Emery in 1931-1933 features large grave tumulae with bed burials for the kings with funeral sacrifices of horses, horse trappings and servants from the fourth to the sixth century CE. The royal nature of the burials is confirmed by the presence of bodies which were still wearing their crowns at the time of their discovevery.</p><br>
<p>1–6 Priory Street in Monmouth, Wales, is a row of six shop houses designed by the architect George Vaughan Maddox and constructed. They form part of Maddoxs redevelopment of the centre of Monmouth and stand opposite his Market Hall. The architectural historian John Newman has written that Maddoxs work "gives Monmouth its particular architectural flavour," and considers Priory Street to be "his greatest work."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 19th century, the main thoroughfare out of Monmouth towards London was Church Street, a relatively narrow street now pedestrianised. Increasing traffic on the street led to a number of accidents and demands for the construction of a new road. At the same time, developments at the Shire Hall in Agincourt Square meant that the market, previously located there, required new accommodation. In 1834, the Town Council offered a prize for a redevelopment scheme, which was won by George Vaughan Maddox. Maddox, the son of another Monmouthshire architect, John Maddox, had already established a reputation within the town. Maddox&#39;s proposals envisaged a new road, described by John Newman as "a remarkably early inner bypass", that would run north of Church Street along the west bank of the River Monnow. Above the embankment side would stand slaughterhouses, supporting the new Market Hall, and facing the Hall, a row of grand residential houses, backing on to Swan Court. The road was called Priory Street, as its course ran next to Monmouth Priory on the route from the centre of the town.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and description</h2><br>
<p>Numbers 1–6 Priory Street form a curved, symmetrical frontage at the beginning of Priory Street as it runs north-east from Agincourt Square. The whole block is of three storeys and nineteen bays. The frontage is stuccoed, and decorated with pilasters, typical of Maddox&#39;s "good facades." The roofline has a central attic, under a pediment and lit by a shallow window.</p><br>
<p>The composite grouping has been designated a Grade II* listed building for "its exceptional architectural interest as part of an important piece of early 19th century town planning."</p><br>
<p>The Farmington River Railroad Bridge spans the Farmington River in Windsor, Connecticut, just west of Palisado Avenue and north of Pleasant Street. It carries two tracks of the main railroad line between Hartford, Connecticut and Springfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1867, it is one of the state&#39;s finest examples of a stone arch railroad bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Farmington River Railroad Bridge is located north of the village center of Windsor, spanning the east-flowing Farmington River in a north-south direction, just north of Pleasant Street. It is a masonry structure 464 ft long, built out of locally quarried sandstone, with seven arches mounted on piers and abutments of similar stone. The stone is formed into dressed rectangular blocks of varying sizes. The sides of the piers are articulated as pilasters, with a captstone set on a stone balustrade over each one. The upstream sides of the piers have triangular projections to minimize damage caused by ice floes.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1867 by the Hartford and New Haven Railroad, and has carried the main line between Hartford and Springfield since then. This is particularly noteworthy, because the weight and force of modern trains is substantially greater than those at the time of its construction. The bridge was designed to allow for the transit of barges beneath it on the river.</p><br>
<p>12–16 Church Street in Monmouth, Wales, is a row of three shop houses designed by the architect George Vaughan Maddox and constructed. They form part of Maddoxs redevelopment of the centre of Monmouth and stand on Church Street, to the rear of Maddoxs Priory Street. The architectural historian John Newman has written that Maddox&#39;s work "gives Monmouth its particular architectural flavour" and Cadw describes the grouping of 12–16 Church Street as "the best preserved early 19th century shopfront in Monmouth."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 19th century, the main thoroughfare out of Monmouth towards London was along Church Street, a relatively narrow street now pedestrianised.

Maddox&#39;s proposals envisaged a new road, described by John Newman as, "a remarkably early inner bypass", that would run north of Church Street along the west bank of the River Monnow. This would allow the redevelopment of Church Street and here Maddox constructed the block comprising 12–16, with an entry into White Swan Court CADW is of the view that the building has probably held a dispensary since the time of its construction, a period of 180 years.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Numbers 12–16 Church Street form a single block of three storeys and four bays. The building backs onto Priory Street and has an arched entranceway into White Swan Court.</p><br>
<p>Architectural elaboration includes a "heavy" architrave and a cornice at the roofline. The grouping is designated a Grade II* listed building, the high listing for "its exceptional architectural interest as part of an important piece of early 19th century town planning in the Monmouth centre."</p><br>
<p>The Cush Earthworks are a series of earthworks, and a National Monument, located in County Limerick, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Cush Earthworks are located on the western slope of Slievereagh, 3 km (1.9 mi) northwest of Kilfinane, near the headwaters of the River Loobagh.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Cush region was occupied by an Iron Age community from c. 1000 BC to AD 400. Some of the burials are late Bronze Age, but the raths are thought to be no earlier than 3rd century BC.</p><br>
<p>There were several cist burials, some with food vessels as grave goods.</p><br>
<p>There were also some souterrains lined with timber and stone.</p><br>
<p>Excavated in 1932–34. Discovered items included rotary querns, glass beads, an urn, iron slag and burials.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>To the south, six raths (each 20 m in diameter) were joined together with a large rectangular enclosure located to the west. To the north lie 6+ more ringforts. Around them are an ancient field system.</p><br>
<p>Trewyn House, Llanvihangel Crucorney, Monmouthshire is a country house dating from 1692. Its origins are older but the present building was constructed by the Delahayes at the very end of the 17th century when the house sat in Herefordshire. It has since been extended and reconstructed giving an "obscure and complicated" building history. The house is Grade II* listed. The parkland has traces of 17th century terracing and a rare dovecote that enjoys its own Grade II* Listing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The origins of the house are late-medieval, evidenced by the construction of the "extensive, vaulted cellars." The house was purchased by the Delahayes in the late 17th century, who rebuilt the house in 1672. At that point, the house was located in Herefordshire. whose family promoted the seaside resort of Rosherville, at Northfleet in Kent. The Roshers owned the house until the late 19th or early 20th century, undertaking significant restorations in the 1870s directed by Isobel Bernadette Rosher, an amateur architect.</p><br>
<p>In the early 20th century, the house was again restored to its 18th century appearance, with alterations in the Arts and Crafts style. Remaining in private ownership, the house was again restored in 1990-5.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and description</h2><br>
<p>The house is of two storeys and seven bays, and is constructed of Old Red Sandstone with Welsh slate roof tiles. The house has undergone considerable modification during its history; many of the windows and doors are replacements, dating from the 19th and 20th centuries. The interior has also seen much restoration and many of the architectural fittings have either been moved from their original locations within the house or are later additions. Trewyn House is Grade II* listed, its designation describing it as "a manorial house which retains much of its historic character".</p><br>
<p>The terrace and garden walls, steps, gate piers and gates, which give the house the "ceremonious" setting described by the architectural historian John Newman, are of Old Red Sandstone rubble and wrought iron. All have a Grade II* heritage designation.</p><br>
<p>In the grounds is an early dovecote, dating from either the end of the 17th century or the start of the 18th century. The structure is octagonal, constructed of red brick, with a slate and wooden roof. It reportedly contained seven hundred and sixty-four nesting boxes. Described by Newman as "exceptionally fine", it is a Grade II* listed structure.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican Church of St Lawrence, Wick St. Lawrence in the English County of Somerset dates mainly from the 15th century. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The parish Church of Saint Lawrence dates mainly from the 15th century. It is built largely of pink or grey Lias limestone combined with other local limestones and sandstones.</p><br>
<p>The church was struck by lightning in 1791 which caused cracks to open in the tower which was then reinforced with iron bands. Further deterioration required major restoration in 1864–1865 by Foster and Wood of Bristol.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the benefice of Worle within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church has a three-bay nave, two-bay chancel, north vestry which was added in 1865 and south porch.</p><br>
<p>The window of the church are in the Perpendicular style. The three-stage tower has a peal of six bells; the oldest of which were cast in 1655.</p><br>
<p>The intricately carved stone pulpit came from Woodspring Priory in 1536 following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The Priory had been bought by a Bristol Merchant, William Carr, and his son and heir John Carr (who subsequently became Lord to the Manors of both Congresbury and Wick St Lawrence) arranged the pulpit&#39;s relocation.</p><br>
<p>The Ochlocknee Missionary Baptist Church and Cemetery is a historic church and school at 521 USA Route 319 S. in Beachton, Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1918. The church was founded in 1848 by slaves and was originally located "on the outskirts" of Pebble Hill Plantation. The congregation moved to the current location in 1918 after a fire destroyed the previous church.</p><br>
<p>The property has "dates of significance" of 1918 and 1947 recorded in the National Park Service database; such dates are often dates of original construction and later expansion of buildings. It is listed as significant in the areas of architecture and of black history.</p><br>
<p>It is located about 3.8 mi east northeast of the hamlet of Beachton. There is a church named "Little Ochlocknee Baptist Church" which is different; that church is located four miles east of Ochlocknee, Georgia, about 20 miles north.</p><br>
<p>Holkham Camp, or Holkham Fort, is an Iron Age fort in Norfolk, England, about 1 mi north-west of the village of Holkham.</p><br>
<h2>Location and description</h2><br>
<p>It is in the Holkham National Nature Reserve, at the southern end of a sandy spit, with coastal dunes to the north and tidal wetlands on the other sides. The site is not normally accessible on foot; it can be seen from an elevated bird hide on the edge of woods to the north.</p><br>
<p>It is near two other Iron Age enclosures: about 5.5 mi north of Bloodgate Hill Iron Age Fort, and about 5 mi northwest of Warham Camp.</p><br>
<p>It is an oval enclosure, area about 2.5 hectare. The western side is protected by a slope, and by a creek on the south-west. The eastern side has a single rampart and ditch, with an additional outer bank at the south-east. There is a gap in the banks about 9 m wide on the south side, thought to be the location of the original entrance.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It has been a scheduled monument since December 1924.</p><br>
<p>During the Iron Age and Roman era, the site was in the area of the Iceni tribe. Holkham Camp is one of two possible sites (the other being Stonea Camp in the Cambridgeshire fens) corresponding to the description by the Roman historian Tacitus of the location of the defeat in AD 47 of Iceni rebels by a Roman force commanded by Ostorius Scapula.</p><br>
<p>The site may have been a feature in Mesolithic and Neolithic times, since finds include worked flints from these periods; they are thought to have been in their original location, as the site has not been ploughed.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican Church of St John The Evangelist at Kenn within the English county of Somerset has a Norman tower, with much of the rest of the church dating from around 1300. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>

<p>The John Fitch School is a historic former school building at 156 Bloomfield Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1929 and twice enlarged, it is a prominent local example of the Beaux Arts style, and was the town&#39;s first purpose-built high school. Since 1988 it has served as Fitch Court, a senior housing complex managed by the local housing authority. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former John Fitch School stands west of Windsors village center, on the north side of Bloomfield Avenue (Connecticut Route 305), between Mack Street and Hayden Avenue. It is a complex of three constructions, consisting of the original main block and two large ells. All are single-story or 1-1/2 story masonry structures, built out of buff brick with stone trim. The main block was originally covered by a distinctive green tile roof; this has been replaced by asphalt architectural shingles. At its center is an octagonal cupola with green dome. The main entrance is set in a recess framed by bracketed hood and topped by a Flemish gable, in which a bas-relief of the schools namesake is set in a medallion. John Fitch was a local militia member who died in King Philip&#39;s War.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1921-22 to a design by William Henry McClean, an architect from Boston, Massachusetts. The school was an unusual departure from Connecticut schools of the period, which were typically Colonial Revival in style and built out of red brick. Its two enlargements, in 1929 and 1934, added classroom capacity. The school was readapted as a senior housing facility in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Ardagh Fort is a ringfort  and National Monument in County Limerick, Ireland, famous as the discovery site of the Ardagh Hoard</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Ardagh Fort is located immediately west of the crossroads at Ardagh, atop a hill 103 m above sea level, overlooking the Daar River.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The hillfort dates to the late Bronze Age or early Iron Age, c. 1000 BC.</p><br>
<p>In late September 1868 two local boys, Jimmy Quin and Paddy Flanagan, were digging potatoes at the southwest edge of the fort — farmers often avoided forts, believing them to be abodes of the Aos Sí (fairies), but they may have chosen the site in the belief that it would protect against potato blight. There, they discovered the Ardagh Hoard: a beautiful silver and gold chalice, a stemmed copper-alloy cup, and four brooches, all from the 8th or 9th centuries AD. There was also a wooden cross from the Penal era: it bore the inscription "727", presumably short for "1727", and the goods may have been concealed c. 1740. Catholic Mass is said to have been said at the rath in the penal era.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>A rath with a high bank and deep ditch to the north and south; the east and west walls were never built. It covers 0.3 hectare.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican Church of St. Michael and All Angels in Flax Bourton in the English county of Somerset was built in the 12th century. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>

<p>The church consists of a three-bay nave and chancel with a north aisle and south porch. The three-stage west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses.</p><br>
<p>Inside the church is a 12th-century font.</p><br>
<p>The remains of a late medieval churchyard cross on a square base can be seen in the churchyard.</p><br>
<p>The Chocorua Island Chapel is a non-denominational chapel located on the island of the same name on Squam Lake in Grafton County, New Hampshire, in the town of Holderness. It is an open-air place of worship, created as an extension of Camp Chocorua, the first summer youth camp in the United States. The open-air chapel was created by the camp&#39;s first season of young boys, made entirely of boulders, trees, various island vegetation, and beach sand.</p><br>
<h2>The camp</h2><br>
<p>Ernest Berkeley Balch was born in 1860, one of fourteen children of Episcopal minister Lewis Penn Witherspoon Balch and his wife. The family lived on an estate in New Hampshire. Rev. Balch had aspirations of establishing a private Episcopal school, and after his 1875 death his widow donated much of the estate to establish the Holderness School.</p><br>
<p>Sources differ on the exact timeline, but either before or after his 1879 enrollment at Dartmouth College, Ernest joined his friends Henry Burke Closson and Charles Merrill Hough on their summer camp-out on Squam Lake. The experience inspired Ernest to start a wilderness camp for young boys, one which would contribute to their spiritual development as well as physical stamina. With help from Hough and other college friends, the camp was constructed on the privately owned Chocorua Island, and began operations the summer of 1881. Apparently, they discovered after the fact that it was not public land. An arrangement was later worked out with the owner for operations to continue. Although it ultimately lost money for its investors, the venture is recognized as the first summer youth camp in America, and considered to be the vanguard for the proliferation of the youth camp culture.</p><br>
<h2>The chapel</h2><br>
<p>The open-air chapel was built by the boys during the camp&#39;s first summer season, clearing the land and using natural elements. From Squam Lake, they retrieved a hunk of granite with the correct shape for a lectern, and placed it beside the "erratic granite boulder" they had re-purposed for an altar. Both altar and lectern were adorned with ferns and wildflowers on Sunday. The benches and the cross were fashioned from native trees on the island; beach sand was used as flooring. Two services were held each Sunday, providing an afternoon one for visitors and an evening service prior to bedtime for the boys.</p><br>
<p>The camp itself ceased operations after the 1889 season, but the chapel continued to serve visitors to the island. The Chocorua Chapel Association was formed by eight individuals in 1903: Ellen Balch and her husband Oliver Whipple Huntington; Edith Balch and her husband Clifford Gray Twombley, an Episcopal minister; Lena Balch and her husband Joseph Howland Coit; Harold Jefferson Coolidge; and W. Percy Van Ness, who became the chapel organist. The association assumed responsibility for the chapel&#39;s operation and continued maintenance, and donations to the chapel are redistributed to non-profit community organizations.</p><br>
<p>Grover Cleveland, whose second term as President of the United States ended in 1897, attended worship services at the chapel during the summer of 1904. Although the camp had fallen into disrepair by that date, the chapel continued to provide worship services for visitors and area residents. Eventually, the Association branched out and ran the chapel as non-denominational. In 1928, the owner of the island donated it to the Association.</p><br>
<h2>NRHP certification</h2><br>
<p>The chapel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in Grafton County, New Hampshire on September 20, 2016.</p><br>
<p>Five of the fifteen contributing properties to qualify for the NRHP are on the south end arrival area of the island: the wharf, the sea wall and docks, two crosses, and a shelter for the memory book. Three of the four non-contributing properties are also at the south end: two sheds and a boulder. At the north end where the chapel is located, the only non-contributing property is the organ shed. Ten of the fifteen contributing properties are at the north end: cross and altar, lectern, baptismal font, benches, bell and tower, the organ, a robing hut and a stone wall.</p><br>

<p>Royal George House in Monmouth, Wales, is a large Georgian townhouse of. Its architectural style is "old-fashioned" for its date, drawing on Carolean models such as Tredegar House. Built as a private residence, in 1800 it was occupied by the commander of the Monmouthshire Militia. In the 19th and 20th centuries the building was an hotel, first the Ivy Bank and then the Royal George. By the 1980s, it was empty and derelict. Restored, and significantly altered internally, in 1985–1987, it was subsequently a nursing home, and as of 2017 it houses commercial offices and residential apartments. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house is early 18th century in date with an historical attribution to 1730. Constructed as a residential townhouse, it was owned in 1800 by the commander of the Monmouthshire Militia. The commander undertook significant remodelling of the house.</p><br>
<p>Later in the century, the house became an hotel, first the Ivy Bank and then the Royal George. It was designated a Grade II* listed building on 27 June 1952. In the 20th century, the hotel closed and the building suffered significant neglect. It was restored 1985–1987, and was used firstly as a nursing home and then as commercial offices and residential apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building is of three storeys, with seven bays under a hipped roof, and was constructed "probably in the 1730s." The building&#39;s façade was originally roughcast to imitate masonry and has a modillioned cornice. Designed in a Carolean style, it was out of date for its time.</p><br>
<p>The architectural historian John Newman, describes the building as "one of the town&#39;s finest 18th century houses." The Monmouth historian Keith Kissack noted its Neoclassical interiors of about 1800, introduced when the commander of the Monmouthshire Militia remodelled the house. The renovations were external, as well as internal, Newman comments on the "Adamesque Corinthian capitals and Doric frieze."</p><br>
<p>Ponta do Sinó is the southernmost point of the island of Sal in Cape Verde over a kilometer west of Santa Maria and is over 20 km south of the island capital of Espargos. The nearest settlement is Terra Boa, 5 km to the southeast. It has a headland that is over 1.6 km east to west and about a kilometer wide. At that location, it is the point closest to Boa Vista Island at Ponta do Sol being 39.3 km apart.</p><br>
<p>It is the area separating the beaches of Ponta Preta and Santa Maria and its wide harbour and has been designated a protected area as a nature reserve, it may cover nearby Ponta Preta but includes the waters surrounding the headland.</p><br>
<p>It is also a subdivision that is an uninhabited section of the city which covers the headland and is a touristic area dominated by hotels and villas. The first resort was Morabeza constructed next to the headland in 1967, more of the resorts were constructed in 1999 and were finished in 2001 or 2002 and in 2004 near the point, more of them were constructed in 2007 and 2008 in the headland&#39;s limits and recently in mid-2015 surrounding the lighthouse towards the east. Nearby resorts are Funaná and Vila do Farol and its adjacent theater located in the headland, other resorts are in the area including Belo Horizonte, Crioulo and Garupa. Nonetheless, the oldest and the most famous landmark in the area is its lighthouse of the same name built in 1892 and is now located close to the sea with a newer one. Almost all these are connected by Caminho de Ponta do Sinó, a small road linking the town.</p><br>
<p>West of the lighthouse on 30 August 2015, a then unnamed species of bushes of the Arthrocnemum genus was described with its type location being west of the lighthouse at 16°5902.46" N, 22°9242.72" W and are founded in sandy depressions in the area, they are also founded in other parts of the area and in two other islands to the south, they were named in 2016 as Arthrocnemum franzii.</p><br>
<p>Tourism is the main industry today in the headland as well as the city.</p><br>
<p>Surrounding the headland have its waters shallow but has a small size as 1 km south has the waters 100 meters deep, 4 km south has a depth of 1,000 meters and forms part of the Cape Verde Rise and is the depth range at a third of the way to the island in one part, 17 km south has water at a depth of 2,000 meters and over.</p><br>
<p>When Porto Grande Bay at Mindelo on São Vicente Island was at its busiest from 1880 to 1916, some of the ships that were headed from/to West and South Africa and Australasia (continued to be used that time even after the completion of the Suez Canal in Egypt), passed between the point and the island and the lighthouse guided it. After ship traffic dropped, it is guided mainly for domestic and cargo ships heading from and to the island&#39;s two ports.</p><br>
<p>During the Ice Age, the point then unnamed was about a kilometer south. Along with the whole island, the area was first recordedly explored on December 3, 1460.</p><br>
<p>The Pine River Site, also designated 20CX19, is an archaeological site located in Charlevoix, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>This site is a multicomponent site, with evidence of occupation during the Archaic (c. 3000 BC), Middle Woodland (c. AD 100), and Late Woodland periods (c. AD 1400).</p><br>
<p>Chert from the Pewangoing Quarry was found at this site, along with partially finished tools, animal remains, and edible plants.</p><br>
<p>From 1899 to 1967, the old Beach Hotel in Charlevoix stood at this site. Although there had been reports of an archaeological site on the property, no work was done until 1970, after the hotel burned. New condominiums were constructed at the site in about 1972.</p><br>
